:04:48. > :04:52.Hydro which will host the gymnastics, boxing, judo and
:04:53. > :04:58.weightlifting. The city really is buzzing with excitement. It is
:04:59. > :05:03.infectious. They are very proud that Glasgow is hosting the Commonwealth
:05:04. > :05:08.Games. In a moment we will have more on how our Channel Islands athletes
:05:09. > :05:13.are going to be competing. Emma Chambers has been out soaking up the
:05:14. > :05:17.atmosphere and the sunshine and finding out what jersey can learn
:05:18. > :05:24.from Glasgow as it prepares to host the Island games next year. This is
:05:25. > :05:29.the centre of Glasgow. The games haven't even started yet but it is
:05:30. > :05:35.already buzzing. Locals and visitors and athletes are queueing up to have
:05:36. > :05:41.their photo with the big stand. Joining me now is Liz Buchanan from
:05:42. > :05:46.visit Scotland. How many people are you expecting? We are expecting to
:05:47. > :05:50.have 1 million visitors coming to the city to enjoyed a sporting
:05:51. > :05:55.events. What is going on in the city for people to embrace the games?
:05:56. > :06:03.Apart from the sporting events which there are many, we have also got
:06:04. > :06:07.2014 which is happening around the same time and that is an extension
:06:08. > :06:12.of a year`long festival that has been going around Scotland. Jilly is
:06:13. > :06:17.hosting the Island games next year and there will be 1000 fewer
:06:18. > :06:23.athletes then there will be at the Commonwealth Games. What can jersey
:06:24. > :06:28.do to stand out? Enjoy it, get everybody involved. It is not just
:06:29. > :06:34.about the public sector or the accommodation, it is about the
:06:35. > :06:42.people as well and they will often take away a memory. I know the
:06:43. > :06:46.importance of the Island games and the importance of everybody getting
:06:47. > :06:57.involved. Good luck for the next two weeks. The slogan here is people
:06:58. > :07:05.make Glasgow and it is a place that lots of people will be watching. Our
:07:06. > :07:13.athletes are in Glasgow and I have been to meet some of them. Welcome
:07:14. > :07:17.to Glasgow. Glasgow was getting ready to put on a show. The streets

:08:50. > :08:54.been told 1 billion people will be watching. I hope I don't do anything
:08:55. > :09:00.wrong. It is very exciting and a very proud moment for me. Steve has
:09:01. > :09:03.the honour of being jersey's flag bearer, a proud moment as they step
:09:04. > :09:16.out onto the international stage. Coverage of the opening ceremony
:09:17. > :09:18.starts at 8 here on BBC One. Then the real sporting
:09:19. > :09:21.action starts tomorrow. Chris Simpson swaps the Guernsey

:09:25. > :09:29.in the water for their heats tomorrow morning also
:09:30. > :09:32.in the water, on their bikes and running will be Daniel Halksworth
:09:33. > :09:35.and Tom Perchard in the Triathalon. We've got a fantastic ten days
:09:36. > :09:42.of sport to look forward to Time to see what the weather will be
:09:43. > :10:03.like in Glasgow and back home. Everything is going right for the
:10:04. > :10:09.opening ceremony and it looks set fair. There is a gentle easterly
:10:10. > :10:13.breeze as Glasgow and it looks like the weather stays that way as we
:10:14. > :10:17.move through the evening. There is a small chance of a shower turning up
:10:18. > :10:23.late at night but I don't think there will be many of those. For us,
:10:24. > :10:26.it is a dry story. Slightly more of a breeze in the afternoon into the
:10:27. > :10:33.early evening and it may help make it feel cooler. Most of the activity
:10:34. > :10:37.has been to the west of Ireland and it doesn't change. There is some
:10:38. > :10:41.activity across parts of France and it is here that if you look East,
:10:42. > :10:50.you may see some cloud building over Normandy. By the middle of the day
:10:51. > :10:56.tomorrow, there is the risk of a shower. As we move into Friday, that
:10:57. > :11:01.risk remains along the French coast rather than across the islands. Let
:11:02. > :11:07.us look at the detail. There is clear sky and there is not too much
:11:08. > :11:13.in the way of mist with temperatures no lower than 17 Celsius. It may be
:11:14. > :11:21.that we see more cloud at times through the night but it will not
:11:22. > :11:25.spoil a clear night. Realistically, it is another lovely start of the
:11:26. > :11:27.day tomorrow and another day with plenty of warm sunshine. There is
:11:28. > :11:35.some cloud appearing in the distance. The breeze is freshening
:11:36. > :11:37.giving temperatures of 22 Celsius. That is the forecast for the coastal
:11:38. > :12:00.waters. Edward salt will be reporting from
:12:01. > :12:02.Glasgow tomorrow but tonight, our late news is on later because of the
:12:03. > :12:09.Commonwealth Games. How would you spend nearly
:12:10. > :12:21.a quarter of a million pounds? That's the enviable position
:12:22. > :12:23.these night shift workers find themselves in after winning
:12:24. > :12:26.almost ?4 million on the lottery. Well, we've been doing our sums and
:12:27. > :12:29.we reckon they could buy themselves 100,000 pasties, or almost 50,000
:12:30. > :12:33.cream teas, or maybe just under you could buy back
:12:34. > :12:44.Plymouth Argyle's captain. So how will members of the syndicate
:12:45. > :12:47.at a branch of Tesco in Plymouth be spending their winnings?
:12:48. > :13:04.Scott Bingham has been to meet them. The odds certainly stacked up
:13:05. > :13:09.through this bunch of bubbly supermarket workers from Plymouth.
:13:10. > :13:13.The 15 strong syndicate, also including three men and three other
:13:14. > :13:18.women who decided not to go public, checked out with a jackpot of just
:13:19. > :13:23.under ?3.7 million. It was especially emotional for the
:13:24. > :13:29.syndicate leader, who lost her husband David to cancer earlier this
:13:30. > :13:33.year. My first thought was of my husband, and that he is not here
:13:34. > :13:36.with me to enjoy it. But he has done this for me. He had a little word
:13:37. > :13:44.with the Lord above and said let's do something. He is watching over
:13:45. > :13:55.me. What will they do with their share of just over ?250,000 each. I
:13:56. > :14:09.want to pay my mortgage. What about you guys? I do not know. Get a
:14:10. > :14:14.bungalow for my mum. Most of the group has voted to carry on stacking
:14:15. > :14:19.shelves at the supermarket. The atmosphere in the staff room, when
:14:20. > :14:27.we are on our break, laughing all the time. It is nice to enjoy
:14:28. > :14:35.people's company like that. We do joke. The next time your late`night
:14:36. > :14:47.shopping, the smiles may not just be because they love their job so much.
:14:48. > :14:49.What a lovely group! Enjoy your winnings.

:15:26. > :15:30.years, it will reflect what was going on in the war. At the moment
:15:31. > :15:36.we're looking at 1914, the early battles, we will go on through
:15:37. > :15:41.Gallipoli in 1915, the Battle of the Somme in 1916, up to the armistice
:15:42. > :15:47.in 1918. To tell the stories of Devon and such soldiers. With a
:15:48. > :15:59.sword used in the First World War, Kate Adie did the honours. I declare
:16:00. > :16:03.the exhibition open! Met would have come `` men would have come in their
:16:04. > :16:07.thousands to enlist. They would have been outside queueing. Women beyond
:16:08. > :16:12.them would have been going, where are they going? What is going to
:16:13. > :16:17.happen, probably cheering them on. There was extraordinary enthusiasm
:16:18. > :16:20.in those early days. They passed through military buildings here. And
:16:21. > :16:25.here is the story of what happened. 8000 of them did not come back. It
:16:26. > :16:32.does matter. It brings history home, write to our own homes here in
:16:33. > :16:38.this area. As part of the exhibition, letters from local
:16:39. > :16:42.soldiers to their sweethearts. I suppose it is all settled for us to
:16:43. > :16:46.go to war. But still I can go with a good heart knowing that I have left
:16:47. > :16:56.someone behind who will pray and think of me. This woman find this
:16:57. > :17:01.letter to her and after she died. She had kept them all those years. I
:17:02. > :17:09.just felt they had to go somewhere so I brought them in. I am very
:17:10. > :17:17.surprised how it has all turned out. I think this will be this time. I

:17:51. > :17:55.miles from his native Vietnam, Bao arrived in Cornwall fast asleep.
:17:56. > :17:57.Newquay Zoo will be his home for the foreseeable future, where it is
:17:58. > :18:02.hoped he will breed with others already here. It is important
:18:03. > :18:07.because the species is considered vulnerable to extinction. They are
:18:08. > :18:12.quite rare in the wild because of deforestation and bushmen trade over
:18:13. > :18:19.there, illegal hunting. They are very scarce. We are trying to rescue
:18:20. > :18:24.and rehabilitate them. This animal is bread in a national park in
:18:25. > :18:30.Vietnam, and they are coming over here. He has come over here to
:18:31. > :18:36.increase the gene pool of them being kept in captivity. He will be kept
:18:37. > :18:38.in quarantine for four months. Newquay Zoo has been coordinating
:18:39. > :18:42.the breeding programme here in the UK. But protecting the species
:18:43. > :18:47.relies on more than increasing numbers. Work is going on in Vietnam
:18:48. > :18:52.that might one day enable these to be returned to the wild. The centre
:18:53. > :18:56.we run over there is not only for breeding animals and letting them
:18:57. > :19:01.out into the wild, but it is also educational. Hopefully it will

:19:19. > :19:22.of France rather than England. Well, it's not only us humans
:19:23. > :19:25.basking in the sunshine this week. In Dorset some unusual fruits
:19:26. > :19:46.have made a rare appearance ` A fruit from the Far East growing in
:19:47. > :19:49.Dorset. It is this, a loquat. Thanks to the warm summer, something more
:19:50. > :19:57.than just leaves and flowers are growing. It is a citrus fruit about
:19:58. > :20:04.the size of a golf ball. It grows throughout Egypt through to
:20:05. > :20:11.Palestine and Afghanistan. Very rarely do you see it set foot in
:20:12. > :20:14.this country. Planting at the garden started in 1765. The weather has
:20:15. > :20:26.produced quite a few highlights to go with the loquat. You have got the
:20:27. > :20:29.valley with the rhododendrons. That fades out, then you have the
:20:30. > :20:37.Victorian garden with borders and grasses. Subtropical planting. By
:20:38. > :20:45.late summer, you have got what we called the jungle, bananas, its
:20:46. > :20:48.transports you to another world. It is not only unusual fruit enjoying
:20:49. > :20:55.the subtropical sunshine in Dorset. The kookaburras are flourishing as
:20:56. > :21:03.well. We have built a free flying area. 15 years, we have had them.
:21:04. > :21:08.The sound of the laughing kookaburra echoes through the valley and
:21:09. > :21:12.transports you into another world. It has been the warmest week of the
:21:13. > :21:17.year so far, unusual for this garden.
:21:18. > :21:20.They've long been seen as both a symbol of the seaside
:21:21. > :21:23.and the curse of those enjoying an outside plate of chips.
:21:24. > :21:25.across our coastal towns and villages.
:21:26. > :21:27.Over the years Spotlight has reported on
:21:28. > :21:29.many different approaches to tackling the problem.
:21:30. > :21:31.And today Plymouth City Council joined the fray.
:21:32. > :21:40.John Henderson joins us from the city's Barbican.
:21:41. > :21:48.A lovely evening down here. They are is one of the birds in question,
:21:49. > :21:53.quite big, aren't they? It is feared to say that we are undoubtedly a
:21:54. > :21:57.continental cafe culture in this part of the world. We love to sit
:21:58. > :22:01.outside eating and drinking full top but there is a risk with that, and
:22:02. > :22:09.today Plymouth City Council decided it is time to get tough and act.
:22:10. > :22:15.Seagulls. For those enjoying a snack and the sun, they are a pest. The
:22:16. > :22:21.seagulls drink out of my copy cup and everything. They try to pack
:22:22. > :22:27.food off the table. They grabbed food out of people's hands! They are
:22:28. > :22:32.disgusting creatures. Such is the problem in Plymouth, the City
:22:33. > :22:40.Council is taking action. If we can remove the food sooner than later,
:22:41. > :22:46.that will deter the seagulls. Also, replacing eggs with false eggs. So
:22:47. > :22:51.that they do not hatch. Eventually the seagulls will move onto another
:22:52. > :22:57.area where can breed. Cafes in the city are a common target for these
:22:58. > :23:01.herring gulls. Trying to clear up the leftovers before the birds do is
:23:02. > :23:08.important. We do a lot to keep the tables free from the birds trying to
:23:09. > :23:12.swoop down. But it will draw attention to the fact that there is
:23:13. > :23:19.a problem, an obvious problem in the city. For new visitors coming into
:23:20. > :23:24.the city, they need to be made aware of the fact that there is an issue
:23:25. > :23:28.with seagulls when they are eating outside. That will only help
:23:29. > :23:33.matters. The campaign asks people not to feed the birds or drop
:23:34. > :23:38.litter, especially food. The problem is worse between April and August
:23:39. > :23:44.when the goals have chicks to protect and more people are eating
:23:45. > :23:47.outside. So far no problems down here with
:23:48. > :23:52.seagulls this evening, but the City Council is also planning to bring in
:23:53. > :23:57.birds of prey to deal with what it thinks is a serious problem. I am
:23:58. > :24:02.joined by the owners of this cafe. How big a problem are seagulls in
:24:03. > :24:06.this part? In the summer they are quite a big problem, if people did
:24:07. > :24:13.not feed them they would be much less of a problem. Adrian, what do
:24:14. > :24:17.you think? Is it heavy`handed thinking about finding people to
:24:18. > :24:21.feed the seagulls? It seems a bit over the top to me. I would favour
:24:22. > :24:25.signs urging people not to feed them. Occasionally we do get
:24:26. > :24:30.problems with people feeding them. If you do not feed them there is no
:24:31. > :24:34.problem. We will leave you to it, it is a lovely evening down here, and
:24:35. > :24:38.so far no dive`bombing from the seagulls.
:24:39. > :24:45.Thank you very much indeed, John. A scorcher again today. It has been
:24:46. > :24:55.even hotter today. The heat stays with us. Slightly
:24:56. > :25:02.cooler Celtic Park in Glasgow for the start of the Commonwealth Games.
:25:03. > :25:05.Clear blue skies, 20 degrees. It is a lovely evening to enjoy that. We
:25:06. > :25:09.have got that on BBC television as well. The close of the western side
:25:10. > :25:18.of Ireland is not worth worrying about `` that line of cloud. We see
:25:19. > :25:24.showers develop overnight tonight, some of them around tomorrow, just
:25:25. > :25:30.for one day. By the time we get to Friday, high pressure comes back.
:25:31. > :25:35.Plenty of showers across the near continent, largely dry for us. A
:25:36. > :25:37.little bit of colour appearing across Gloucestershire and
:25:38. > :25:43.Wiltshire. Showers that are moving towards us overnight. This is the
:25:44. > :25:48.fine weather we have seen today, we had glorious blue skies. More cloud
:25:49. > :25:56.around, appearing through the afternoon. Very little in the way of
:25:57. > :26:00.breeze, it has been a very warm day. Described as hot for most of us. The
:26:01. > :26:07.best place to be, in the water, staying cool. For the next couple of
